Awesome use of one of the 4 3rds. Love this.

 

[Zman5778]

SUCK IT, TORONTO AND BOSTON!!!!

Very pumped.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

hey Jimmy remember when you were going to Toronto?

Oh Jack, you scamp!

 

[krt88]

just got the text and all I could say was

yes, yes, yes, yes, YAHTZEE

brilliant move Timmah!

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

Lets goooooo

 

[Myllz]

Oh ****.

GET HIM SIGNED!

 

[MayDayMayDay]

Sweet. Stoked.

 

[Der Jaeger]

GMTM gets it, as we all know. Perfect move, if Vesey signs. Vesey's ahead of all but three of the forwards in the draft in terms of development (arguably ahead of Matthews and the Finns). He's cheaper to acquire in terms of draft picks. It leaves all the best assets that Sabres have to address other needs.

Of Vesey, Stamkos, 8OA, or trading up, Vesey was the best option in terms of cost both long and short term, while enabling the team to address the defense. If he signs, this move is very, very shrewd.

Nice, hope he signs.

 

[Reddawg]

You should have seen the fistpump I just did at my desk when that trade alert came in....OMGOMGOMG.

 

[MackAttack26]

We don't even have Pick 76 do we? I thought it was 69, 85, 86, 89.

Anyways, who the **** cares if we traded one of many 3rds...WELL worth the risk!

Vesey - Eichel - Reinhart. Can't. Wait.

 

[CaseyMitts37]

Oh hell yes

 

[dotcommunism]

Pick 76 is Minnesota's pick which was acquired from Anaheim in the Jamie McGinn trade. Anaheim had previously acquired the pick from New Jersey as part of the return for Kyle Palmieri. New Jersey had previously acquired the pick from Florida as part of the return for Jaromir Jagr, and Florida had acquired the pick from Minnesota in return for Sean Bergenheim and a 7th.

So Minnesota to Florida to New Jersey to Anaheim to Buffalo to Nashville.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Do the Sabres still have to wait until 8/15 (or whatever date he becomes a free agent on) to sign him or is that out the window now that they have his rights?

Huge

This huge?

 

[kirby11]

Great move, TM! Hope Vesey signs soon.

 

[Rhett4]

One would have to assume, especially given trading a third for his rights, that Eichel said, "Yeah, my boy will sign." I'd also think then Murray wants to wrap it up (or at least know one way or another) early. Waiting until August 15 disrupts your plans.

 

[Moskau]

Now we get to sit on pins and needles until he's signed.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Good stuff.
Hopefully we'll be hearing about an ELC soon.
